CERN Accelerating science

 
A coarse flowchart for a typical analysis. The upper part of the figure shows the hardware and software that an analyst might use for different stages of the analysis and the lower part of the figure shows where CMS’s documentation efforts span and end. Grey boxes indicate procedures, software, or hardware and storage are provided by the CERN or the CMS open data group. Light green boxes indicate steps where the procedures, software, or hardware and storage is left to the individual analyst.
